Way back I had an LATL motorman, walking on his way to the crew shack from his car in Vernon, stick his hand into the pic - didn't mar the carshot and can be removed in printing or scanning- big deal. And I had the crew of a WB turn off the headlight as it exited the tunnel under Spring GArden loop- big deal it was THEIR train, not mine. Retired SP engineer Vince Cipolla could be counted on to leeeean out the window whenever he saw me, and other fans, Sometimes there were even orders to grab and he usually would greet me by name over the radio, So I made it a point to shoot the train and wind fast so I could pic Vince up close.
I agree, the Trains thing is dumb Thanks
